EXHIBIT INDEX

Exhibit No.        Description 

99.1                   Disclosure regarding the Company’s preliminary financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Exhibit 99.1

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

We are currently in the process of finalizing our consolidated financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, and therefore our actual results for such period are not yet available.  We estimate our total consolidated revenues to be in the range of $20.5 million to $21.5 million as compared to $20.9 million for the same period last year.

We currently estimate a net operating loss in the range of $0.70 million to $0.80 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to a net operating loss of approximately $0.01 million for the year ago fiscal quarter.  Factors contributing to the loss include regulatory assessments that exceeded our expectations, material accruals for legal defense and settlement liabilities and professional fees incurred in connection with the announced offering.  The above-mentioned accruals were generated largely in connection with legal proceedings that arose in connection with losses in alternative investment vehicles that became financially impaired.

The foregoing information includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

The preliminary financial data included above have been prepared by us, and our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to such information.  Our independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its review of our consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011.  The preliminary financial data included above were based on assumptions, estimates and business decisions that are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.  Investors should understand that our actual results may differ materially from our current estimates due to completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for our second quarter are finalized.  Except as required by law, we do not expect to update these forecasts and estimates to reflect future events prior to the release of our actual results.
